Crazy Question About Using Olive Oil

Hey Friends,

I am 11 days out and have switched from Clear liquids to liquids (creams). I am in Lima, Peru and so I doubt any of you have my same Dr. and my diet is a little different from you guys because I just cant get some of the things that you guys have access to. Well, I was told that for lunch and dinner to eat a cream Soup (has to be homemade) and after I have it in my bowl and hot, I am to add 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the bowl and then eat it. I for one am not a big fan of olive oil except on occasion. It definitely alters the taste of my already not appetizing cream soup.

Anyone else have to do this or know why he wants me to do this?

    Well to be honest' date=' my bowels have been moving really well even before the oil but I am sure it will help even more now! I have IBS so I am assuming that it will help me there too. Who would have known?

    Well about taking it in the soup, I have to add 2 teaspoons full and I really can only still eat about 1/4 cup of soup so I guess I am getting a bunch...eww and I can taste it really strong.

    Thanks so much! I feel real good since surgery, Having to deal with changing my thoughts about food and also just struggling with actually eating. When did you have your surgery?[/quote']

    I had my surgery on 8/21. I feel good. No problems w food or liquids at all, just kinda tired.

    Pinky, same here!!! And i love the Olive oil that costco puts out once a year. In the glass bottle with the harvest date. I use that for salads and stuff. The big kirkland plastic bottle i use for cooking things on low heat. Anything else I use the grapeseed for.

    Sorry, OP...we kinda got off track. I bet you can get some wonderful oils where you are.

    How are you feeling?

    I am feeling great! I haven't really ever even thought of looking at the different types of oils although I guess with this new life/journey, I should. We are fortunate to have LOTS of great fresh fruits and veggies that are so very inexpensive so that is really nice.
